Quotes

  Mary Katherine Gallagher : They get it, Grandma. They get it. They get it.

  Grandma Gallagher : I've got two more. And when I say booga-booga, you booga-booga.

  Maria Ganitisis : What's "booga-booga" mean?

  Grandma Gallagher : I don't know. But if I say it, you better fuckin' figure it out.

• Grandma Gallagher : It's time I told you how your parents died.

  Mary Katherine Gallagher : What does that have to do with a talent contest?

  Grandma Gallagher : Everything.

  Mary Katherine Gallagher : I thought you said that mom and dad were savagely ripped apart and eaten by a school of hammerhead sharks.

  Grandma Gallagher : I just told you that to make you feel better.

• Grandma Gallagher : Mary Katherine, what are you doing?

  Mary Katherine Gallagher : I'm using my telekineses to kill the girl who poured pig's blood on me at the prom.

• Grandma Gallagher : Just when it looked like your parents would be triumphant again, the unthinkable happened! Fat Teddy McGinty's belly struck the record player, accidentally turning up the speed.

  Grandma Gallagher : How dare you. My Mary has no problem. My granddaughter is a star.

  Mary Katherine Gallagher : What?

  Grandma Gallagher : Look at that face. She looks like a young Elizabeth Taylor. You may call her hyperactive. But if the Good Lord gave her excess energy, then, by God, no one's taking it from her.

• Grandma Gallagher : No boys. If you're going to do this, you're going to do it for yourself,
